Chapter 44 Sleepless Night



Yue Xiwen parked the car. The weather was so hot that she couldn't wait to go into the B&B.

She wasn't wearing a heat-resistant, constant-temperature suit. The base meant that her identity was special and she represented almost the highest-ranking officials in the base, so they had to set an example.

So she and her parents could only wear the heat-proof clothing she bought at home. The elderly were not as young as them, and her father didn't want to take it off. In the end, in order to avoid any objections from the top management of the base, they had to go out as little as possible.

"I still have a lot to tell you, so I came here to find you."

Xie Purou sat next to her and asked, "What's wrong?"

"We've already agreed on a location for that water vending machine. Do you think we can put it up at the base tomorrow?"

"Let me briefly explain the plan we've come up with. Basically, the base is willing to pay 30,000 first-level crystal cores in exchange for the annual lease of five machines."

Xie Purou was puzzled when she heard this. What was going on?

"What are you talking about? Five thousand crystal cores?"

"It means placing the base in our vending machine, and we pay you an annual fee."

Now she understood, but the system stipulated that she couldn't...

Xie Purou organized her words and tried to say everything she wanted to say.

"We don't want any rights to use the crystal core. If there's anything about the base that I'm not satisfied with during the cooperation, I'll take the machine back at any time. Of course, if the base doesn't want me to keep the machine there, I'll take it away too."

"I just need to place the machine in the base to sell water. Points will be calculated based on how many points each bottle of water has. The machine will have a crystal core exchanger for use."

I finished saying everything in one go and felt much better.

Yue Xiwen had no objection to this. The order given to her by the base was that she must persuade the store manager to put the vending machine in the base no matter what.

Any conditions unilaterally proposed by Xie Pu Rou can be agreed to as long as they are not too excessive.

Besides, the girl didn't ask for too much, she just had her own way of dealing with things.

"Okay, we'll cooperate. Any other requests?"

"there is none left."

Yue Xiwen then told her about the base's series of methods for dealing with extreme heat. Xie Pu Rou only listened to the beginning and did not continue listening.

What the base does is none of her business. A base that is willing to pay rent and rent machines to the poor will not ignore life.

Yue Xiwen continued speaking.

"I'll be coming to you tomorrow to continue purchasing goods. One thing I don't understand is that you can't mark up and resell the goods."

"If we can only sell them at the original price, how are we supposed to resell them to ensure the survival of our residents?"

M80 provides the solution.

[Host, you can sign a resale authorization contract with the base. After the contract takes effect, the base can resell the goods at a reasonable price.]

Xie Purou asked, "What is a reasonable range?"

[This system will automatically terminate the authorization contract if there is malicious price increases.]

She relayed the words to Yue Xiwen verbatim. Yue Xiwen couldn't make the decision on her own, so she just said that she would bring the answer to her when she came another day.

Yue Xiwen took out something, spread it on the table and opened it. To her surprise, the document was actually the layout of the base.

Xie Purou was shocked. "Isn't this kind of thing confidential?"

"It wasn't my decision alone. The higher-ups decided to let me bring it and show you where to put it."

The Flame Base came to the conclusion early on that no matter what, Xie Pu Rou could only be a friend, not an enemy.

Before the Grape Food Truck appeared, people died of starvation and thirst every day in the base. Only after she set up a stall inside did everyone have something to eat.

The conclusion reached by this group of old guys was that if there was still a little hope in this doomsday, the Grape Dining Truck and Grape B&B would definitely bring them hope.

Having said that, Xie Pu Rou really wanted to see where the base would place the vending machines, so she took a closer look.

The markings on the drawings were extremely detailed, and even if Xie Pu Rou had not seen the entire base, she could tell at a glance what was where.

Two vending machines were placed on the middle level, two vending machines were placed on the slum level, and one vending machine was placed on the upper level.

She was very satisfied with the distribution.

The crowd has always been in the middle and lower levels, with fewer people in the upper levels, so one vending machine is really enough.

"I've finished reading it and I don't have any comments. Please put it away."

It is not convenient to display such secrets in public, that is, when there is no one around, otherwise it would be bad if someone saw it.

"Okay." Yue Xiwen obediently put the things away.

She said she would come to the B&B tomorrow to discuss other things and purchase supplies, and to ship a few machines back with her.

This night was destined to be a sleepless night. After Xie Pu Rou’s food truck left the base, she announced that the food truck would go to another base in the future and would no longer sell lunch boxes at the Lieyan Base.

People in the middle and lower classes all suffered from insomnia. They had finally managed to have two full meals in the past few days, but suddenly all hope was gone.

The base later announced that it had signed a contract with the B&B and would sell all packaged foods sold by the Grape Food Truck.

No one felt anything about this statement. Who knows how expensive the things sold in the base would be. The Grape food truck was so cheap, and it had both meat and vegetables and you could eat your fill.

Many people beat their chests and stamped their feet, hating themselves for not buying more supplies today.

The senior management also couldn't sleep well. They couldn't feel at ease if the water vending machine didn't come to the base.

Yue Xiwen was the only one in the entire base who slept relatively well.

She is beautiful. She has eaten well these days and wears constant temperature clothing to sleep. She is the most comfortable one.

Yue Tonghai didn't tolerate her and kicked her out early in the morning to negotiate at the Grape B&B.

That night, Xie Purou understood what Yu Bai meant by "See you tonight if you're lucky."

Yu Bai and four other men came with their families and immediately filled up the triple room on the third floor.

They lived in the cheapest type, with a triple room costing only 2,100 yuan per month.

Several families are like this, renting a triple room.

Because triple rooms can only accommodate three people, two families with older brothers and sisters live in single rooms, which are also the cheapest and simplest room types.

There are only basic facilities, but several families were excited after moving in.

After the end of the world, everyone’s biggest luxury is to have a room that belongs only to them.

The two brothers and sisters who lived in a single room were only in their teens. The high-spirited boys and girls were so excited that they burst into tears.

The days to come will definitely get better and better. Living in a house like this, I can eat well and sleep well, and I will be fully motivated to kill zombies every day.

That night, several families made an appointment, took a shower, and gathered at the dumpling buffet restaurant, where everyone had a big meal to celebrate.
